* This article re -edited a part of Ichiro Kasahara's "Disney Cast Zawazawa Diary" (Shinsha Shinsha).
Castodial cast ( * 1) is a "walking concierge", and even on a bad weather day, he walks around the onstage and guides guests.Whether snow falls or storms, you can't escape from work.
Castodial casts are divided into two types: cleaning the onstage and the work of cleaning the rest room (toilet).Onstage is good for spring and autumn days when sunny and pleasant.
On the other hand, on the heat, extreme cold, and rainy days, the rest room charge is called the "winner" and everyone is enviable.Under the scorching sun in the midsummer, the onstage is crazy.The reflection from the ground is intense.Therefore, 5 ° C is felt higher than the actual temperature.
On a hot day, it sells like ice cream and ice candy fly instead of popcorn selling.This is the Castodial cast crying.The melted ice hangs on the ground and becomes a stain.Since it cannot be left, bring the mop and wipe it.While doing so, the ice cream drips elsewhere and can be stained.
In front of the vending machine, there are guests who are polluting the ground with the spouted cola.I rush here with a mop.I am sweaty, so during midsummer cleaning, sweat blew out and become grain and wet my glasses.Wet the shirt.When it is terrible, it gets wet up to pants.
I didn't know when to talk to the guests, so I had to be dressed, and a lot of sweat was wiped with a paper towel at any time.However, in the morning meeting of one day, SV ( * 2) made a ban on "Paper towels should not be used for sweating only for commercial use."However, a handkerchief quickly gets drenched and useless.I can't work with a towel from my neck.
After all, a paper towel is essential for the summer day of the summer day.Ignoring the stingy ban on SV, I continue to wipe off a lot of sweat with a paper towel.
( * 1) Cast mainly in charge of cleaning the park.It boasts top popularity among the number of casts in the cast.( * 2) Abbreviation for supervisor.Playing manager is located for each site and covers and supervises casts.In the Castodial category, several people are located for each location.
Winter is in winter.In the middle of winter, I keep standing for several hours, so the cold gets into my body.On cold days, you can wear muffler, gloves (gloves), thick coats, etc., but the coat is thick and difficult to move, so there are only a few casts.
There is snow in the winter troubles.Under the safety of safety high -priority, the park was thoroughly cleaning up after the snow.The snow piled up in the park will mobilize the cast, such as the attraction cast, as well as the castdial cast, and carry it to the backstage manually.
On a heavy snow morning, all the casts working on the day ordered early.He was instructed to throw the snow piled up by the opening in the American river near the steam ship Mark toein.I cursed my bad luck that I decided to go to work on this day.Regardless of age or gender, work with the cast has begun.
I was in charge of snow with a scoop and put in a large container.If you work for a few minutes, you will get sweat and you don't need your jacket.When I worked for about an hour, it suddenly stopped.There are too many snow abandoned in the American river, which may hinder the operation of steam ships.
I was already relieved to see if I had already been released from the work of the young people, but I was relieved to be relieved.
"Please carry it to the backstage, not the American River."
This led to the discouraged voice from the cast at the same time.The American river is right in front of you, but there is a distance to the backstage.It was extra work.In addition, the place where it is frozen and slippery with the onstage is primitive and patient to apply "bath" with hot water in a plastic bag.
For guests, the snow scenery park is a superb view, and it seems to be a good story to be given to SNS now, but these work is a lot of hard work, and for our cast, it is a grudge snow.
The rain is also sharp.The onstage staff must wear an umbrella (the rest room is allowed to use the umbrella when moving) and wear a rain gear (rain gear).It gets stuffy as soon as you wear it.If it is raining, the water will penetrate and the clothes will wet because of the rain gear.If sweat is mixed with this, discomfort reaches its peak.
In addition, when you get further, you have to wipe all the water with a towel and then fold it, and it takes time.When you get off or stop, it's the most troublesome, and if you try to wipe off the water because you think it's going to be, it will come down again.
One of the jobs of Castodial is "remaining water treatment".
After the rain stops, wipe the rainwater in places where guests, such as benches, with towels.This is the work of carefully wiping many benches and fences one by one.After about half, it rains again.The hardship is the bubble of water.After the rain, if you are wearing rain gear, Ichiro Kasahara, who has been cleaning staff at Disneyland for about eight years, will be warned to take off the SV as soon as possible.If the descending and stopping are repeated, it will be a bit nervous.
Sweepers walk about 30,000 steps a day on many days.If you walk this much, your knees will laugh before you get used to it.When my work was over and I was exhausted and I was walking towards Maihama Station, it was Nobuyasu Okabayashi's "Yamanoya and Blues"."Today's work was hard. The rest is just shochu ♪" "The country of dreams" is the "mum of workers" who have no choice but to support.
It was the second day after a sunny cast debut.When I was swamping ( * 3) at the onstage, a high school girl and a duo of a duo came to me."What are you doing?" "?"
I thought I was cleaning, but I didn't know the intention of the question and answered this for now.
"I'm collecting garbage. Because popcorn is falling here and there."
When they heard that, they looked suspiciously and looked at their faces silently.After a while, I was asked by a mother with an elementary school girl.
"What are you collecting?" "Yes, because popcorn is falling ..." "... Oh, I'm sorry."
For some reason, it seemed that parents and children were disappointed.As expected, I thought this was weird, so I asked her colleague cast Taniguchi during the break.
"Today, during the swing, the guest asked me" What are you doing? ", What is that?"
Mr. Taniguchi, who was a 10 -year -old veteran cast, laughed with a laugh.
"I often hear that question, the guests are often asked. The most orthodox response is" I'm collecting dreams! "So what did Kasahara answer?"… ”
There is a theory that such questions about the cast have started with a sightseeing bus bus guide, and it has spread it sometime, but it is not as clear as the truth.The next day, I had a chance to revenge as soon as possible.This time, it was a group of trio of three groups.When one person approaches, "I'm sorry. What are you doing now?" "Yes, I'm collecting dreams."
When she thought she was bright, she bowed down, saying, "Thank you."I was happy to think that I could cooperate in making my memories.
( * 3) Sweep cleaning performed using dust bread (chili) and toy brooms (brin).
You may be asked many times a day when you are on a school trip or when there are many guests coming from rural areas during spring and summer vacation.
The reaction like the junior high school group mentioned above is common, but some of them express joy by screaming "Caaaaaa!"Some people do.It is very embarrassing to attract the attention of the surroundings.
In many cases, the reaction was often in a young women's group, and when the guests approached, there were quite a few things that changed the direction of travel to avoid questions.However, I am lonely if the guest's reaction is low.When I just said, "Is that so?"
In some cases, if you do an orthodox response, there are some guests who include tsukkomi, such as "What is the answer again?"
Some colleagues were good at original response.
Mr. Taniguchi says that when he is asked in front of the Peter Pan Sky Travel, he will change the answer flexibly depending on the location and time, such as "Peter Pan is collecting fallen leaves."
As the cast has changed widely, some guests will ask Castodial Cast as soon as possible.Speaking of which, I was ashamed of reply like Taniguchi, adding a little arrangement to the most orthodox things, and using "I'm collecting happiness."
I think the guests were reasonable.At one point, a few high school girls approached, saying that he was swinging in front of "It's a Small World".When I was preparing for the usual questions, I was preparing "Kakera of Happiness", and one of them suddenly asked me, "What is love?"She was impatient for a moment, but she replied, "I never regret love."
She left, saying, "Deep!"I still don't know what the intention of the question was in the first place.
